Creative Christmas Love Notes

The Happy Home Fairy has done it again...

You may remember her cute lil' Thanksgiving love notes. These ones are for Christmas.

She instructs you to "hide these cards in his laptop case, the visor in his car, under his pillow at night, taped under the lid of the toilet seat, or one in his stocking each day… be creative and have a Merry Christmas with that man of your dreams!"

Word Warped Anniversary Gift

Each year, hubby and I rotate who plans the anniversary date or event. This year, he had event-duty which left me with getting him a gift (nothing too elaborate, of course). I decided rather than wrap his gift, I'd make him work for it.

There is an app on our iPhones called Word Warp that we've both been into lately, so I warped the letters of his gift and watched as his mind went to work!

This is what he was trying to solve:
(the letters given spell out lots of different 3+ letter words...the biggest word they spell is "motocross"...which is the word I wanted him to get at.)

Once he solved it, his anniversary gift was revealed: Tickets to a Freestyle Motocross Show!

So, here's the lesson application to you:

....you've gotta put a little excitement ahead of a gift like this. Although it's something he may REALLY want (he's been asking for 5 years to go to a motocross show with me), it's pretty boring to just hand over some tickets or something of the sort. You don't have to do word-warp, of course, but get creative in doing something personal to both of you. Make a mini-event of it and it's sure to be more fun...for both of you!

I'd love to hear your ideas, of course, so send your tips and examples my way!

Under the Mistletoe...

Don't forget about a cute little way to sneak an extra kiss or two this holiday season....hang some mistletoe in a conspicuous space and lure your hunny underneath it.

Design-Aholic dressed hers up just a tad so it doesn't look like you have a dead plant hanging from your ceiling. :)

Merry Kissmas to you and yours!

Merry Christmas, Deer!

Christmas is only getting closer...still wondering what to get hubby?

RomanticMarriages.com offers an all-inclusive “Merry Christmas Deer” romance kit.


This kit makes it so easy to have a little holiday fun and frolic with your husband. The kit begins with a “good boy” letter for your man that says… “The elves reported you’ve been a good boy by being my man through the year, so Santa decided you’d get what YOU want. Delivery will be by his deer!”

You then visit him on the nights leading up to Christmas as Santa’s sexy and slightly naughty deer. Each deer delivers her own gift that makes a very unique memory. (All gifts are included in the kit with the exception of a gift certificate to his favorite restaurant.) The kit is great at creating genuine anticipation as your man wonders which of Santa’s deer are visiting next? With the arrival of the first deer, “Flasher” (Dasher’s naughty twin) your holiday fun begins!

The girls at Romantic Marriages have done all the work for you... so you get to have all the fun!

You can order the kit over HERE!
